I'm using toothpicks at the moment, although they are quite flat (especially when you pick them up the wrong way) so they don't gouge into the agar, but I have a horrible feeling that I picked up too much bacteria with them.<BR/><BR/>I'll find out in five days time, when they've grown.Lab Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07962574174521597312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341686541622227200.post-69788930979655829182009-01-15T14:04:00.000+00:002009-01-15T14:04:00.000+00:00Last term my time was split between a Cat I lab an...Last term my time was split between a Cat I lab and a Cat II lab.
